Hi, I’m Dr. Mehrit Tekeste—a licensed clinical psychologist. Whether you're navigating school, adjusting to life after graduation, starting a new job, managing family or relationship challenges, or working through stress and mental health concerns, I offer flexible, accessible support to meet you where you are—emotionally and geographically.

I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, interpersonal conflict, and difficulty adjusting to life changes. I am particularly attuned to the complexities of intergenerational trauma and how multi/bi-cultural identity influences an individual’s experience and healing journey.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and holistic, integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), family systems theory, and multicultural counseling. I strive to understand each client within the context of their developmental history, cultural identity, relationships, and personal values, creating a supportive space for insight and healing to emerge. Together, we work toward a greater sense of balance and integration, honoring your lived experiences, goals, and the cultural influences that shape who you are.
